One year since the North-South communication channel was cut off... Resumption uncertain due to hostile North-South relations

It has been a year since North Korea stopped responding to South Korean communications through military communication lines in the East and West Sea areas and the Inter-Korean Liaison Office on April 7 last year.
It has been a year since the last call on April 6 last year that North Korea has not responded to any calls made between the inter-Korean liaison office in Panmunjom and the military communication line.
Liaison officers stationed at Panmunjom have been attempting to contact the North regularly twice a day, at 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on weekdays, but the North has consistently not responded.
Problems caused by the communication cut include the transfer of the body that has flown from North Korea to the South and the request for advance notice of dam discharges during the rainy season.
This means that when South Korea needs to contact the North, it must do so through the United Nations Command. North Korea has cut off contact several times in the past when it was in a disadvantageous situation.
In 1976, the two sides lost contact for three years and five months after the Poplar Incident at Panmunjom, and in 2016, they lost contact for about two years after protesting the complete suspension of operations at the Kaesong Industrial Complex.
In June 2000, contact was suspended for two months due to the issue of the distribution of pamphlets to North Korea. However, the current situation between the two Koreas seems to be far worse than it was in the past, so there is a high possibility that contact will be resumed.
It is transparent. During the time that communication has been cut off, North Korea has designated South Korea as a “two-state hostile” nation and has refused to cooperate with South Korea.
At a plenary session of the Workers' Party last December, North Korean Chairman Kim Jong Eun said, "We
"Discussing the issue of unification with a strange race that is nothing more than a lackey of the American colony, for the sake of the rhetoric of saying that we are the same race, is not in keeping with the status and standing of our country," he said. "The relationship between North and South Korea has already completely
"It has become a relationship between two hostile nations, a relationship between two warring nations, rather than a relationship of kindred spirits or homogeneity," he said, emphasizing that there will be no dialogue with South Korea.
President Yoon Seok-yeol also participated in the Seohae (West Sea) Protection Day event last March.
"Our government and military will not back down one step in the face of any North Korean provocations or threats," he said. "A 'fake peace' achieved through some kind of compromise will not protect the Korean people and will only make our security even worse."
"It will put the South Korean government at risk," he said. The longer the conflict in North-South relations continues, the more difficult it will be to resume contact. Meanwhile, diplomats say that there have been a number of recent talks with countries including Sweden and Germany.
Some European countries are reportedly preparing to visit North Korea in response to the country's move to reopen the border. North Korea, shocked by the establishment of diplomatic ties between its "brother nations" Cuba and South Korea, is seeking a diplomatic alternative.
It is believed that China is moving to resume exchanges with European countries in order to achieve this goal.
